    It was probably because the threads (well at least one of them) seemed to be more about complaining about your wife and looking to get revenge by reporting her. I don't think that's what that forum is about.
    Maybe you should pm the forum mods and get clarification?

    maybe you`re right but its also about defrauding the state and I did ask 2 mods no reply since yesterday you`d think when they closed them they would have said something I guess I should have approached the wording differently and not mentioned its my wife at the end of the day she`s been creaming the whole system the last 4 years
    anyway thanks for the reply

    Normally the mod will put in a note as to why a thread is being close so not sure why they didn't in this case but maybe different forums do things a different way. I agree with previous poster, PM the mods and ask why.

    It's a Sunday afternoon. People have families to look after, jobs to do, dinners to cook. Cop on and have a little bit of patience.

    Some mods are on-line, some aren't. You can't expect all 500+ to be available at the same time, especially on a traditional day of rest.

    It's the weekend. Not everybody sits in front of a computer on Sunday afternoon. If you have PM'ed the mods, they will respond in due course. Please do not start any new threads.

    Obviously do not stop by feedback that often.

    Above is how things are run around here? Casual condescension of people who feel aggrieved? Poster was told to 'cop on' as it was Sunday and give the mods in question time, it's now Wednesday afternoon and nobody bothered getting back to him on what to me seems like a genuine problem.

    'have little bit of patience' was advised. How much patience does one need exactly when dealing with boards.ie?

    Unless the mod knows about this thread, how would they reply?
    I'll send them a PM now.

    Awful attitude there by Insect Overlord.

    i.e. you can get your point across while still being civil.

    IO's first post above was a reply to a new thread started by the OP that said "there must be no mods on this site today" (just over 4 hours after his original post on Sunday morning).

    That thread was merged with this one.

    fair enough - but the lack of motivation to deal with the posters query is still evident.

    Seriously? Call Vodafone, ESB, Eircom and see how long it takes for someone to get back to you. The mods here mostly respond within a couple of hours to issues and these guys are volunteers. I would challenge you to find a company with response times to match boards. The OP was being unrealistic in his demands. It will be looked at. They always are

    That does indeed put a different perspective on things.

    You have no idea if the poster's query has been dealt. Seeing as they haven't responded to this thread, it's likely that a moderator has since replied by PM and you're on here giving out about nothing.

    wow, you're right.

    but at the same time how do we know either way, making my points and your just points just as relevant?

    and neither would your point negate the fact that there's a condescending attitude to the OP.

    He started one thread on Sunday morning, and then stamped his foot with a new thread on Sunday afternoon to try and get attention.

    The moderator has seen this thread and is going to deal with the thread closures by PM.

    Speaking of thread closures....
